Prime Minister's Questions
No PMQs questions found for this MP.
Does the Minister agree that organisations such as Project Salama are important for joined-up support for victims of DA? How will the Government ensure that domestic abuse services, mental health services, and the suicide prevention strategy work together?
Context
Tomorrow is World Suicide Prevention Day, highlighting links between suicide, domestic abuse, and coercive control.
Alex Davies-Jones
The Law Commission is looking at the links between suicide and domestic abuse, we are working with the Office of the Chief Coroner to formally establish a pathway, and we are also working with brilliant organisations, such as the one from the hon. Gentleman's constituency, that support bereaved families and individuals.

High streets are already under pressure due to retail crime and antisocial behaviour. Can the Secretary of State explain how the high streets organised crime unit will address smaller market towns such as Hungerford, Thatcham, Newbury and villages like Lambourn?
Context
The question arises from concerns about high streets being under pressure, particularly in Lee Dillon's constituency where efforts to preserve local post offices are ongoing. Retail crime and antisocial behavior exacerbate these issues.
Shabana Mahmood
This is a national crackdown led by the National Crime Agency. Funding has been provided for all forces, regardless of area type, and they can bid for enhanced activity funding in their regions.

I worked at McDonald’s throughout my GCSEs and A-levels and while at university—it is a good employer for those who are studying. Newbury Soup Kitchen is a local charity that is supporting a constituent of mine, spending many hours on the phone to universal credit staff. However, they do not consistently accept the authority to discuss, demanded an in-person meeting despite the resident being wheelchair dependent, and offered a Teams meeting only for the resident to find out that Berkshire does not offer Teams meetings. Will a Minister meet me to discuss the case and the process failures?
Pat McFadden
I am happy to ensure that the hon. Member gets a meeting with a Minister from the Department to discuss his constituent’s case.

If he will make a statement on his departmental responsibilities.
Pat McFadden
Since our last DWP oral questions, I have updated the House on the expansion of our youth employment offer, I have been to an excellent job fair in Glasgow, I have said that the latest unemployment figures show a fall, and last week I went back to university—it was the McDonald's Hamburger University. My Big Mac was not perfect, but I welcome McDonald's as the latest employer to support our youth guarantee. My right hon. Friend the Minister for Social Security and Disability has said that the “right to try” regulations have come into force and, as we have mentioned, we also have the changes on statutory sick pay, which significantly expand coverage and make it available from the first day of employment.

Given President Trump’s latest threats to destroy bridges and power plants—attacks that would be against international law—has the Foreign Secretary made representations to her US counterpart that threatening war crimes is not the way to achieve peace or to open the strait? More importantly, if Trump does start to attack civilian infrastructure, will she withdraw US access to British bases?
Yvette Cooper
We have been clear from the start that UK bases could be used only for defensive operations, not offensive operations. There is currently a ceasefire in place, although it runs only until Thursday and we badly need it to be extended. As part of the G7 discussions, which included the US, we raised the importance of not attacking any civilian infrastructure. That was included in the G7’s agreed communiqué and reflects the importance that we attach to those issues.
Session: Gulf Conflict
View All Questions -->
What assessment she has made of the potential implications for her policies of the situation in the strait of Hormuz.
Yvette Cooper
I returned overnight from a series of meetings across five countries in Europe, the middle east and Asia, and I spoke directly with more than a dozen of my Foreign Minister counterparts, as well as joining the 50-country summit hosted by the Prime Minister and President Macron. This is a critical diplomatic moment. The agreed two-week ceasefire runs until Thursday, and we need it to be extended. We need the negotiations to reach a comprehensive conclusion to this conflict, and we need the reopening of the strait with no conditions and no tolls. Our work is to maintain and build the biggest possible consensus around the rapid opening of the strait.
Session: Gulf Conflict

I thank the Secretary of State for his response and welcome the support being given to leaseholders; however, many of the problems they face could be addressed through stronger regulation of managing agents. Persistent failings by companies such as FirstPort continue to fill my inbox. In Newbury, we have a block of flats where a lift has been out of order for two years, and one constituent told me that, because it was broken, her son had to carry her husband down the stairs when he moved into a care home. No family should ever have to face that. Will the Secretary of State outline what steps the Government have taken to strengthen the regulation of managing agents and ensure that they are properly accountable to residents, who pay for their services?
Context
The question arises from persistent issues faced by leaseholders due to inadequate management agent regulation.
Steve Reed
I recognise what the hon. Member says about FirstPort because Members across the whole House have been raising similar concerns for a very long time. He will be aware that we launched a consultation last summer that will include looking at how we can better and more tightly regulate managing agents so that leaseholders are not subject to the kind of abuses that he describes.
Session: Leasehold Reform
View All Questions -->
What steps he is taking to support leaseholders. My constituents are struggling with escalating service charges and unfair costs, making their properties unsellable. They need clear transparency, penalties for non-disclosure, and a faster way to challenge excessive charges without tribunals.
Context
Leaseholders face significant financial challenges, including rising service charges and difficulties in challenging excessive costs.
Steve Reed
We published the draft Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill on 27 January, marking the beginning of the end for the feudal leasehold system. We are analysing responses to our consultation on strengthening protections over service charges and services. The Government recognise the financial strain rising service charges place on leaseholders.

I am concerned about the strength of feeling among my constituents, including many affected WASPI women who are regularly contacting me. In the Government's determination to address the communication issues around state pension age changes, will they consult with the Women Against State Pension Inequality Campaign, especially if it means denying these women their lived experiences again?
Context
The question arises from the ongoing debate about compensating women born in the 1950s who were negatively impacted by changes to the state pension age. Constituents and MPs have been contacting their representatives regarding this issue.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Torsten Bell)
We will update the House as soon as a conclusion is reached, and we have committed in public to doing so within three months of the decision in December. We are considering the evidence in the round and will report back to the House before the beginning of March. The issue at stake relates narrowly to the communication around state pension age changes rather than the increase itself, which was put in place by a previous coalition Government, not opposed by any Liberal Democrat MPs.
Session: State Pension Age Changes Compensation

The Secretary of State talked about increasing the pace of build-out, but as we strive to achieve the target of 1.5 million new homes, quality is important too. Will the Secretary of State say whether he will use the powers in the Building Safety Act 2022 to make the New Homes Ombudsman Service mandatory, because only 60% of developers are currently signed up to that scheme?
Context
The MP is concerned about the quality of new homes being built and notes that only 60% of developers are currently signed up to the New Homes Ombudsman Service.
The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Steve Reed)
We are making changes to building standards and the Building Safety Regulator, as the hon. Gentleman will be aware. I am happy to look at the proposal that he makes and to engage with him further if it would be helpful.
Session: New Homes
View All Questions -->
The Government’s affordable homes programme will contribute 180,000 social homes over the 10-year period, but Shelter has called for 900,000 homes over that period. Could the Secretary of State tell the House how much he expects social providers to provide on top of the 180,000 to be provided by the affordable homes plan?
Context
Shelter has called for the Government's affordable homes programme to deliver a much higher number of social homes over the next decade. The current programme aims to build 180,000 social homes, which is significantly lower than Shelter's target of 900,000.
The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Steve Reed)
The hon. Gentleman will be aware, as I am and as Shelter is, that we inherited a housing crisis from the previous Government, who failed to build sufficient numbers of social and affordable homes. The £39 billion that this Government are investing over 10 years will give us the biggest increase we have seen in a generation. We know that in the long term we need to go further than that, but I hope he will agree that this is a very positive first step.
Session: Social and Affordable Housing South Shields

More than 3,600 families in my constituency are living in fuel poverty. While I welcome the warm home discount that will help with bills, it is really the warm homes plan that we need to see rolled out. Can the Minister give any assurance to my constituents about when they will be able to see that investment?
Context
More than 3,600 families in Newbury are living in fuel poverty. The warm home discount helps with bills but the constituency needs the full warm homes plan.
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero (Martin McCluskey)
The warm homes plan will be funded to £13.2 billion, and we will announce it before the end of the year.

I welcome the £9 billion investment. Can you assure Members, serving personnel and their families that urgent repairs will not be delayed?
Context
Mr Dillon welcomed the £9 billion investment in military housing but was concerned about responsive repairs being delayed while waiting for new systems.
The Secretary of State for Defence (John Healey)
This year, a new consumer standard was introduced to raise the required level of repairs and response times. Complaints about forces housing have halved over the first year of this Government compared to previous levels. While there will always be ongoing issues, I am committed to addressing these problems swiftly.

I welcome the Secretary of State to his new position. In my seat of Newbury, over 5,200 women have been unfairly affected by changes to the state pension age. Those women were wronged through no fault of their own, and they deserve justice. With a High Court hearing due in December, this could be a crucial moment for the Government—a moment to finally do the right thing. Will the Secretary of State now listen to the ombudsman’s recommendations and commit to providing compensation to women of the Women Against State Pension Inequality Campaign?
Context
The Institute for Fiscal Studies published a report titled 'How do people already out of employment fare when the state pension age rises', raising concerns about those affected by changes to the state pension age. The report highlights issues such as delays in receiving pensions, which have impacted over 5,200 women in Newbury.
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Pat McFadden)
I have to remind the hon. Member that when his party was in government, it supported the acceleration in the rise of the basic state pension age, and that has given rise to some of the questions he raises. You would not expect me to comment on ongoing litigation, Mr Speaker, and I will not, but I can assure the hon. Member and the House that we will take all relevant factors into account when considering the process for the future.

We are joined by farmers in the Gallery, it is their fifth visit lobbying Labour MPs about stopping a family farm tax. Will the Secretary of State meet these farmers or attend the Berkshire county show to discuss directly why the Government thinks an inheritance tax on farms is right and protects the rural economy?
Context
Farmers from Newbury have visited the House to lobby Labour MPs to stop the family farm tax. They want to explain why the government believes having an inheritance tax on farms is necessary.
Steve Reed
I am always happy to meet farmers. I have visited two farms this week, sat down with six farmers to talk about their concerns and would be more than happy to arrange an appropriate meeting for those visiting from the hon. Gentleman's constituency.

A constituent of mine who recently fled France because of domestic violence and abuse, after being a habitual resident for just 21 days, has been ordered to return to France next week under protective measures. What more can the Government do to protect women fleeing domestic violence in relation to the Hague convention and the Child Abduction Act 1984?
Context
A constituent who recently fled France due to domestic violence is facing a return order despite being in the country for only 21 days.
Alex Davies-Jones
The hon. Member will know that I cannot comment on specific cases, but if he wants to write to me, I will happily look at that. I recently had productive conversations about the Hague convention and others, and we will happily develop those conversations further.
Session: Topical Questions

I agree with the Minister’s assessment of the previous Conservative Government. However, with more than 382,000 cases still in the backlog for magistrates, have the Government done an assessment of whether that will increase, given the doubled sentencing powers that have been passed down to those courts?
Context
The previous government left a backlog of over 382,000 cases in magistrates courts. The new sentencing powers have been passed to free up capacity in the Crown court.
The Minister of State, Ministry of Justice (Sarah Sackman)
The magistrates court is being run in a sustainable way. We extended the sentencing powers in order to free up capacity in the Crown court, and that has been sustainable, and we are increasing capacity in our magistracy by recruiting an additional 2,000 magistrates from diverse backgrounds every year. But that is why we are looking at system reform, whether in the magistrates court or the Crown courts. We are going to need once-in-a-generation reform, and when Sir Brian Leveson reports back, that is what we will get.
Session: Court Backlogs

I welcome the Government’s announcement today of changes to leasehold and the introduction of commonhold, but thousands of leaseholders across the country are still crippled by both high service charges and failing delivery. I am sure that the inboxes of Members across the House are full of complaints from constituents, particularly in relation to FirstPort management company. What can the Government do to hold individual management companies accountable for the services they deliver to our residents?
Context
Thousands of leaseholders are struggling with high service charges and poor management, particularly from companies like FirstPort.
The Minister for Housing and Planning (Matthew Pennycook)
As the hon. Gentleman will know, we intend to bring into force this year the provisions of the Leasehold and Freehold Reform Act 2024, which is designed to drive up the transparency of service charges so that leaseholders can challenge them more easily if they consider them to be unreasonable. We intend to strengthen the regulation of managing agents, imposing minimum standards in relation to qualifications.

The reform of public services and the reliance on artificial intelligence to deliver that led the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs to pilot the Microsoft Copilot program. That pilot ended after six months, yet it demonstrated transformative improvements in departmental efficiency and was particularly beneficial for disabled and neurodivergent staff. Will the Minister confirm whether funding for that tool, which has been suspended until 2026, could be released so that staff could benefit from its application?
Context
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs had piloted the Microsoft Copilot program but suspended funding until 2026. Mr Dillon wanted to know if this suspension could be lifted.
The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Pat McFadden)
The hon. Gentleman is quite right to point out the advantages that can come from these things. I am reluctant to make specific announcements about funding for specific projects. However, the Government are determined not only to make the UK a good home for investment in AI, which will be huge around the world in the coming years, but to make the best possible use of AI in the delivery of public services, which we believe can get good value for money and better outcomes for the public.
Session: Public Services Reform

Will the Government look at redefining affordable housing in national policy so that it is pegged to average local income rather than at the whim of an overheated housing market?
Context
The definition of affordable housing needs to be more flexible and tied to average local income, rather than market conditions.
Matthew Pennycook
We did make changes to some of the definitions around affordable housing in the recently revised national planning policy framework, by separating out the definition of social rent, but I hear the hon. Gentleman’s concerns. I will certainly bear them in mind as we develop policy.

Would he welcome community interest companies such as Lambourn Junction hosting jobcentres in their facilities to make sure that people in rural constituencies such as mine have access to a jobcentre, rather than having to travel into the main town centre for that support?
Context
The previous exchange highlighted specific outreach initiatives in Berkshire, excluding Newbury. The MP seeks to explore whether community interest companies could host jobcentre facilities in rural areas.
Andrew Western
I would very much welcome such an initiative being brought forward in the hon. Member's constituency of Newbury. He may also be pleased to know that there is the potential for a youth hub to open in Newbury, similar to that in Oxford, which was grant funded and is already in operation.
Session: Jobcentres Outreach
View All Questions -->
Whether she has made an assessment of the potential merits of jobcentres launching outreach initiatives in local communities.
Context
The question arises from the potential benefits of jobcentres extending their services into local communities. The MP is interested in the government's assessment and support for such initiatives.
Andrew Western
Jobcentres work with a range of external providers to offer a wealth of outreach support. In Berkshire, this includes work coach support for customers with complex needs delivered by Reading college, outreach delivered by the Slough homelessness team and at Windsor Homeless Project locations, and employment support delivered by the probation hub in Reading. Outreach work is something that we not only strongly support, but actively encourage.

When reviewing GP funding, will he consider the burden that sits on GP practices when they have to hold the lease for their surgeries and what role integrated care boards could have in holding that risk?
Context
The question highlights the financial burden on GP practices due to lease obligations for their surgeries, questioning whether ICBs could play a role in holding these leases.
Stephen Kinnock
NHS England currently accepts ICBs holding leases only as a last resort or by exception due to the significant capital required. While we know that is not the most effective use of ICB resources, it is an important safeguard. We are committed to fixing the front door of the NHS by supporting GPs and ICBs through, for example, the £100 million of capital funding announced at the Budget for GP estate upgrades.

Last year, the River Lambourn suffered 266 sewage spills from storm overflows, causing irreversible harm to a rare chalk stream. Will the relevant Minister meet me urgently to discuss plans to address that in Newbury?
Context
The River Lambourn in Newbury had 266 sewage spills last year from storm overflows, harming a rare chalk stream.
Steve Reed
I can certainly ensure that the relevant Minister meets the hon. Gentleman. I hope that he will also feed his views into Sir Jon Cunliffe's review, as Sir Jon will be considering catchment-wide approaches.

Will the Secretary of State consider allowing councils the ability to buy land for houses based on current use rather than hope value, and commit to reforming the Land Compensation Act 1961?
Context
Councils face challenges in buying land for housing due to current high valuations.
Angela Rayner
The hon. Member will know that we are looking at a number of measures to help council houses to be built. Further measures will be announced in the Budget, as I have mentioned in a written ministerial statement today. We want councils and social housing providers to be able to build those homes, and we will help them as much as we can.

It is clear that prisons are at breaking point due to the courts backlog and mismanagement. Given previous statements about reviewing measures in March 2026, will the Secretary of State confirm no dangerous criminals will be released early?
Context
The question stems from concerns about prison overcrowding due to court backlog issues, leading the government to implement new policies for early prisoner release. The Lord Chancellor previously stated these measures would be reviewed within 18 months.
Shabana Mahmood
We have taken every measure to exclude serious violence, sexual offences, and domestic abuse from the scheme. We will continue to work closely with partners in the criminal justice system to ensure a safe roll-out of the policy and keep matters under review.

Could the Minister give us and the victims reassurance that the criminal justice system will not further delay justice for those victims?
Context
There is concern about potential court backlogs delaying justice for victims of the Grenfell fire. The questioner seeks reassurance regarding swift justice.
Heidi Alexander
As I said to the hon. Member for Wimbledon (Mr Kohler), we will do everything we can to ensure swift justice for the victims of Grenfell. We plan for the Crown court to sit for at least 105,000 days this financial year, and we will do more to increase the speed with which cases are heard in the Crown court.

Could I ask the Secretary of State whether she agrees, given the commitment to build 1.5 million new homes, that community cohesion comes from a planning system where community infrastructure is front-loaded in development?
Context
The MP discussed the importance of community infrastructure being developed alongside new homes to foster cohesive communities.
Angela Rayner
I absolutely agree that it is important that infrastructure is built around our 1.5 million homes target. That is why we set out the proposals in the consultation on the national planning policy framework to ensure that people see the homes they desperately need, the right homes that they need and the vital infrastructure around that.

- - Activity quantity doesn't measure quality or effectiveness of representation
- - Some MPs focus more on constituency work than parliamentary questions
- - Newly elected MPs will have less parliamentary history
